AC’s Organization Tutorial

Daily flow

My main goal is having a tool to answer the questions:

What did I accomplish, so far?
What is blocked/waiting?
What should I do next?
Do I have any appointment?
TIMESTAMP: It’s an appointment. This item will happens at
SCHEDULED means: I’d like to start at
DEADLINE means: It should be finished at

Start the day:

Review messages at email/Slack to capture tasks
C-c a a :: to Open org-agenda for review things scheduled for today
C-c p p :: Select the project
Start a task

Adding a new task

C-c c (org-capture)
Select note type
Fill the blanks

Starting a new task

C-c a (org-agenda) a
Point cursor over the desired task and hit t
Select s, for STARTED, in the prompt.
Go to work ;)

Classifing captured tasks

C-c a a :: to Open org-agenda for review unclassified tasks
Go to the first caputured task
C-c C-w (org-refile) : refile the task to the correct org file

Finish the day

Open agenda
S-Right :: Move un-finished tasks to next working day, changing its TIMESTAMP
C-c $ (org-archive-subtree) :: Archive DONE headings
